Cavitation of centrifugal pump of air separation plant

Cavitation of centrifugal pump of air separation plant

Because the resistance and flow velocity flowing along the impeller inlet will increase, the pressure behind the impeller inlet is lower than the pressure of the inlet pipe. If the pressure is lower than the saturated vapor pressure of the liquid at this temperature, the liquid will boil and vaporize, and bubbles will be entrained in the liquid. When the liquid with bubbles reaches the area with high pressure along the centrifugal force of the impeller, the bubbles will liquefy again, and the surrounding liquid will flow to the area occupied by the original bubbles at high speed, making the impeller bear extremely strong impact force, damaging the impeller surface, causing the impeller surface to produce honeycomb-like corrosion points, or even cavities. This is the reason why the centrifugal pump produces cavitation.

The control system of domestic air separation plants basically adopts the DCS control system, which is monitored and operated in the on-site central control room. Some well-known foreign enterprises have successfully developed remote monitoring systems for air separation equipment, even unattended systems. Domestic manufacturers have also begun to pay attention to the application of remote monitoring system and actively learn from foreign enterprises with advanced technology. Based on the development of domestic Internet technology and automatic control technology, the development of the Internet remote project of DEAR Air Force is studied. This research can improve the competitiveness of enterprises and lay a foundation for the automatic control and remote control of air separation equipment.

The main heat exchanger is the key equipment to ensure the performance of the air separation plant. Its functions in the air separation plant of the molecular sieve pre-filtration process are as follows: recover the cooling capacity of the reflux gas, ensure that the heat exchange temperature difference is within the design range; provide sufficient expansion gas in front of the expander to make up for the cooling loss of the air separation plant; provide raw air for the lower tower under the design conditions; and the working medium is in the main heat exchanger The resistance value in meets the process requirements.

A low pressure nitrogen expander is added to the process design. The pressure nitrogen from the pressure tower and high pressure expander is expanded into low pressure nitrogen, which is combined with the nitrogen coming from the low pressure tower and fed into the charge gas compressor. This is specially set up for rapid oxygen load changes. The oxygen product flow rate during normal operation corresponds to the amount of oxygen contained in the amount of air entering the air separation unit. T...
